The Hyundai Aslan is a sedan of the upper middle class of Hyundai Motor Company . It was presented in South Korea at the end of 2014 and is the production version of the Hyundai AG study. The Aslan shares the front-wheel drive platform with the Hyundai Sonata , Hyundai Grandeur and Kia Cadenza .

Engines

The Aslan was available with two V6 petrol engines at the market launch;

Technical features

All gasoline engines have variable camshaft timing , which reduces gasoline consumption while increasing performance.

The Hyundai Aslan is available at an additional cost with the following features:

  • Six-speed automatic Shiftronic 6-speed (3.0-l and 3.3-l six-cylinder; from Aisin Seiki ): greater comfort and lower consumption, as the engine has more gear ratios available and so more in the optimal speed ranges can work
  • Adaptive cruise control Smart Cruise Control : The car automatically maintains (via radar) a specified distance from the vehicle in front
  • Adaptive and static cornering lights : headlights help steer in the curve and thus illuminate the road better
  • Rear-wheel drive and front-engine: More expensive than front-engine and front-wheel drive, but improves handling and prevents drive influences in the steering; In addition, the front-engine and front-wheel drive is difficult to sell in this class due to the technical disadvantages described above (almost all of the competitors mentioned above have rear-wheel drive)
  • Electronically controlled active headrest : So far only available on some Mercedes-Benz , BMW and Lexus models; represents a further development of the previous mechanical system and reduces the risk of whiplash injuries more effectively through shorter activation times
  • Infotainment system from Harman / Becker Automotive Systems with central multimedia turn-push-slide actuator / controller (corresponds roughly to the iDrive from BMW, the MMI from Audi or the Comand from Mercedes) and combines various vehicle functions that are not necessary for the operation of the car are necessary in a central operating unit, which usually represents a controller as described above. In conjunction with a screen installed in or above the center console (on the Aslan mounted at the level of the dashboard), which enables navigation through the menus, the number of buttons is greatly reduced
  • Adjustable shock absorbers : The driver can choose between three different driving modes (mostly comfort , normal , sport ) and in this way fine-tune the vehicle's settings (comfort, side tilt, agility ...)
  • EPB ( electric parking brake ) from Küster ACS

safety

The following equipment features of the Hyundai Aslan, some of which have already been mentioned, improve active safety :

  • ABS (anti-lock braking system): Prevents the wheels from locking when braking and thus maintains the vehicle's maneuverability
  • ESC (Electronic Stability Program): evaluates the wheel revolutions of the individual wheels per unit of time and detects impending oversteer or understeer and counteracts these unstable driving conditions through targeted braking interventions on 1–3 wheels and throttling the engine power
  • Cornering light : sensors recognize the amount of steering angle and the main headlights steer the curve electronically and better up to an angle of 15 °; Advantage: Less important areas outside the lane are no longer illuminated, important, previously unlit things such as wild animals on a country road are recognized earlier.
  • SCC ( S mart C ruise C ontrol ; adaptive cruise control ): Approximately equivalent to the ACC of Mercedes-Benz ; the vehicle "detects" the distance to the vehicle in front using radar and adapts it to the previously set target value by applying the brakes, reducing the risk of collision
  • TCS ( T raction C ontrol S ystem Traction Control ): evaluates the wheel revolutions of the individual wheels per unit of time and detects slip ( e.g. caused by slippery ground) and tries to redirect the drive force of the spinning wheel to a wheel with higher traction. If that is not possible (for example on ice), depending on the programming, braking intervention takes place sooner or later; Due to its function and the components required for it, the TCS is strongly linked to the ESP

Passive safety :

  • Eight airbags : two front, four side and two headbags or so-called windowbags that extend over all the rows of seats
  • Electronically controlled active head restraints for the front passengers: Reduces the risk of whiplash injuries in the event of a rear impact by "coming towards" the head restraints
  • Side impact protection: Struts made of high-strength steel in all four doors; The side becomes more stable, the car can withstand a side impact better, and the occupants' survival space is preserved
  • Safety compartment : represents the body of the vehicle without crumple zones , which are compressed in the event of a collision; Its main task is to preserve the survival space of the vehicle occupants and to prevent injuries from vehicle parts being pushed into the passenger compartment
